What say you?

An application with the power of the Norquist tax pledge but on both parties. Supported by the two most popular political movements of the day, Occupy and the Tea Party.

We would need a forum specifically designed for the drafting of the application and open to public registration, heavily moderated, with the goal of drafting the application for each presidential election. Presidential candidates who refuse the application will risk losing the votes of those in support of the application. Candidates must fill out the application prior to any primary so positions on current issues can be locked in. The questions will be compiled from everyday people , removing any grey area for politicians to spin and wiggle.

A document by the people made from 100% free speech and a use of technology that levels the political playing field.

What I'm talking about is a spearhead program to take over the political conversation in the US. The tip of the spear being the application document itself, which will then shed light on the conversation that takes place in drafting each application for each election.
